Been enjoying working contests from my daughter's home in Omaha, NE.
I drag my much modified hw16 and a spool of wire and put up a temporary 200 foot end fed wire, temporary because of NE weather, nothing stays up very long.
I was suprised at how weak... Read More -

As usual, what a blast. I have to admit I fell short of my goals to work the Sweep and beat last year's score... so much for continuous improvement. Thought I had this one licked... XYL "pre-tuned" to expect little of my smiling face for the weekend,... Read More

My first real operation on 160 ever. I designed a loaded inverted Vee and managed to get it hung by 2245Z on 12/06, Friday evening. Talk about last minute preparation! Promised the XYL I'd wait until the kids were in bed to sit down at the radio so I... Read More

The WX Friday night was freezing fog and I had to go out every 30 minutes and whack my antennas with a rubber mallet to knock off the ice. The ice build up would short out the antennas. Going out in the cold air did help keep me awake most of the nig... Read More
